whipple, KB, eaton?
ok..after 8 years of enjoying my Mach, i'm at the point where i think i'm finally ready to take the PD "blower" plunge...
this is a 23k mile, stick "toy", no d/d responsibilities, BBK long tubes, 4:10's and all the usual bolt ons... i'm not looking for a million horsepower, maybe 450 ish..and i DO NOT want to take motor apart... lets assume money isn't an issue (even though it is!!!) what setup is netting the best results with the least amount of aggravation? thanks for any input!

Re: whipple, KB, eaton?
1) kb doesnt make kits anymore, I saw something about ford stopped making the lower intake pieces they needed
2) whipple - have to do a full eaton swap then buy the whipple kit VMP does have a TVS coming for the terminators, it would probably work as well the eaton should get you to 450 though

Re: whipple, KB, eaton?
I would say eaton swap if you only want 450ish. 450 is safe on a stock motor with a good tune like with any stock motor car. 4.10 maybe alittle much of a gear for a pd blower unless you have some good dr but still goin to be all over the place I think. I think a Whipple with a eaton swap or a Kb would be over kill on a stock motor. A vortech would love a 4.10 gear and sound great ay idle.

Re: whipple, KB, eaton?
Not to steer you away from a manifold blower, but have you also thought about centrifugals? If you want reliablity an eaton swap or a centrifugal with a very very safe tune can yield 430-450hp. It depends on your tuner and how safe you run it, 8psi as i sure you know is secure.

Re: whipple, KB, eaton?
What you mean willis For the money you cant beat a eaton swap if you only want 450ish hp. If there is bigger and better plans then go whipple but he said he only wanted 450 hp.

Re: whipple, KB, eaton?
I would say Whipple
I've talked it over a few times before and have thought about doing it for awhile now, but i'm thinking down the road i want to take the procharger off an do a whipple s/c on mine. the thing is that if i was going with a KB, i would want a 2.2 and up one, well with that, i would have to do the other little parts i would also need if i was going to a whipple, for budget wise a eaton swap is best bang for the buck ASh

Re: whipple, KB, eaton?

Re: whipple, KB, eaton?
You said Whipple and stock motor giving the original poster an idea it could be done. It can't. You need to choose your words more carefully and be a little more clear.

i thought for use to do a whipple set up. We have to basically do a eaton swap kit and then order the whipple to throw it on there, what i also thought that to do a KB 2.2 and up you had to do a eaton wap and then could do a KB2.2 and up ASh

I'm saying you cannot put a Whipple on a "stock" Mach 1 motor. It will blow within one dyno pull.

EDIT(now that i'm on a comp and not my phone): the forging of the bottom end only builds strength against power. not strength against bad tunes and ****ups. not even kryptonite will save you then. a correctly setup boosted car will reliably produce 420 easily, 450 depending on setup. and i mean reliably. i know 2 cars locally that have been boosted for over 100k miles now. only extra maintenance has been, of course, head unit rebuilds.

These stock engines have extremely soft rotating assemblys, and if you plan on pushing 125+ more horsepower, and pressures, than what they were intended for, you better have an insurance policy in the form of some decent rods and pistons, and that's a fact. Sure some people can walk that razors edge and get away with it, just like I'm still running the stock TR3650 tranny, after all the so-called experts claimed it would disintegrate under the kind of power I'm producing, but that doesn't make it the norm. You're exactly the kind of person I wouldn't let touch my car with a 10 foot pole!

Btw, I've noticed there's alot of "can't be done" stuff in your posts/replies. I'm sure your car rocks, but I wouldn't say that you are the "final" word by no means.

Re: whipple, KB, eaton?
Jeffs i think what Scott is tryin to say that some s/c kits are made for higher boost and aren't made for motors that can't take em, it would be likke getting a F1 an putti it on a stock mach 1, would be a waste time and money. the thing is that you might go over kill and hurt yourmotor.
just tryin to help you out and let you know what can/can't happen, here is a suggestion; why don't you with a stock bottom end do a eaton swap, set yourself up for around 450rwhp and then build up the motor next. once thats done, turn boost up. the when you have enough money do the s/c kit you want just a suggestion, good luck ASh

Also, driving a large pd blower slower will still make good power, however the boost, and power will be a bit more linear with rpm sort of like a centrifugal, but not as bad. However, if you plan on staying with your stock reciprocating assembly and your happy with 4xx rwhp, the Eaton will serve you fine. I'm sort of rambling here, but my main point is that your engine will not blow up just because you place a 2.2 or 2.3 Liter twin screw blower on your Mach if youn keep the boost down..

what i'm sayin about the eaton is your going to have to buy most of the eaton swwap stuff and buyin the eaton s/c isn't that bad so could atleast have it on there till your ready to go big boost, to each there own, and also what your budget is ASh
